Blackberry Valver- passed it MOT HEY HEY

[toon vw 0]

Well i just could'nt resist it...... :lol: :lol:

Picked this up from our classifides yesterday, it was local, it had leather, say no more :lol:

So i struck a deal with the owner & handed over some of my hard earned & drove off with a very nice Blackberry valver, its got no tax or mot but that did'nt worry me too much as i saw the reams of history the car came with & the owner told me it had'nt failed an mot it just lapsed about a month ago as he was a bit pre occupied with his new R32, so its booked in on tues afternoon, so fingers crossed :lol:

I was in the market for a vr6 again but as for the reasons above i just thought hey...what the hell.

Don't know what my plans are yet, if any, i'll just see what happens i suppose.....but i'm still in the market for a VR that is definate :lol: :lol:

Anyway here's a couple of the new aquisition after a sponging, oh & its on supersport coilovers but no idea how much its been lowered (anyone hazard a guess?), alot by the state of the front spoiler 8) ,17" wolfrace Kendo wheels, a mitek exhaust system & oh did i mention the lovely heated leather interior :lol: :lol:

Oh & its currently on 95k miles with a fully stamped up service book & an A4 binder full of reciepts from new !

It was definately a steal. I couldn't believe the price and it looks amazing for the money.

 

If you're lusting for a bit more power (seeing as you were after a VR) you might want to consider the KR cams for sale in the Classifieds.. they really do make a different on the 2.0 16v! I've owned one with and one without the KR and could immediately tell the difference!

Funny you should say that... :lol:

I'm waiting for a p&p price for the kr cams that are advertised now, don't know if its a big job to change em over tho' (in garage time)

Plans????

[toon vw 0]

Well it was MOT day today at 1pm so i got there in plenty time about 12.30, when i pulled up to the garage i saw all the shutters were down so i parked up & went into the office where all the mechanics where sitting drinking coffee, apparently the wind is so bad that 2 years ago when the wind was similar when the shutters were open it ripped the roof off :shock: so they can't risk it again so all the work is being cancelled today & they can't get me back in till monday afternoon now :(

Mind it is blowing an absolute hooley in Newcastle today like, infact to my embarrasment my knackered front grille actually lifted off & blew away over the car when i was driving home :oops: , i did'nt even realise what it was till i got home & realised i was short of a grille !!!

Luckily for me my new FK badgeless grille was delivered by a courier this morning so when the wind dies off i'll fit that one 8)

[toon vw 0]

Just managed to get my new FK grille on ....so here it is, hopefully this one won't go flying off next time i take it out :?

Hope the cams give you the power hike your looking for :D

I got them off ebay, a guy called 'Lesray' , he sells loads of VW related stuff, these cost £72.99 + 6.99 postage.

I've had them before from the same guy on my VR6 & they were great, genuine stuff.

Sorry i can't do links or owt but if you go on ebay & stick 'vw corrado wipers' in then they'll pop up & i can highly recommend them

Cheers pal i'll have a look :thumbleft:

 

EDIT: got a set in post cheers Nice car BTW (Mine same colour)

"lesbray" - missed the "b" out there. Still you'd find it with ease. Bought front and rear badges off him/her/it.

Well it went in today for its MOT & i must admit i was a bit nervous after buying it with no MOT or Tax, but it did well & passed with no problem, even the mechanic commented that it was a 'goodun' which is always good to hear from someone who knows there way around the greasey bits, so it looks like the slight risk i took has paid off :lol:

[Goldie 2]

The boy has done well.. Talk about landing on your feet, jammy git.. :D

Looks lovely. I'm sure this was advertised on here ages ago, before Christmas, with a broken grille, and when I asked how it had happened, the owner said it'd had a slight front bump but had been repaired by Jimmi. But Jimmi certainly seems to know his stuff when it comes to repairs.

 

Love those wheels too.

[toon vw 0]

Yeah thats the one, he had it up just before christmas but i guess it was the wrong time of year then he put it back up a week or 2 ago so i thought what the hell & bought it :lol:

Yeah Jimmi had his hands on it last year, the slam panel had a slight dink in it so he sorted that, put a new headlight on & some paint on the front so it looks quite fresh really!

I'm not sure about the wheels myself, i think they might be a bit ' blingy ' for me, they've got a hell of a dish on them tho' probably about 2 or 3 inches, i might look for something a bit more OE if you know what i mean, i also got an almost mint set of Estorils with the car aswell so might try them on for size first.

I had my first 'spirited' drive in it tonight & to be honest i was very impressed indeed, i previously had a vr6 before this one so was'nt expecting too much but once the revs get up its a little flier, just need to keep it in the power band & some fun can be had, feels pretty good for its standard 136bhp or whatever it is 8)

[diamondblack 0]

Didn't keep that long, then - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/410530.htm - It does look good in the sun.

 

You could have at least offered me the wheels first, though... :)

[toon vw 0]

Well spotted tha man, to be honest i think it was the wheels that attracted alot of people, i only put it up on sunday night & the phone has rang off the hook just about since then, right time to sell i suppose :lol:

Haha, nice little raise there mate! 8)
